Abstract
Bernheimer's Figures of Ill Repute: Representing Prostitution in nineteenth-century France, or A.L. Bucher's Le Mal dans l'imaginaire littéraire français or J.R. Feldman's Gender on the Divide: The Dandy in Modernist Literature all of which dedicate one or more chapters to Barbey. Parts 9 and 10 detail references to contemporary and recent critical works of specific texts. This section is especially relevant to scholars of Barbey. Sections 11 and 12 provide citations for works that focus on Barbey and one or more other writers and book reviews of critical studies on Barbey and his work. The concluding passage, Desiderata, identifies three areas that remain to be explored in greater depth: stylistic and lexical analysis of Barbey's work, his lengthy correspondence, and the large body of criticism he wrote over a lifetime. An index of key words, recent theses, and authors and translators concludes the volume. Melmoux-Montaubin's complete and thorough tome "tend à l'exhaustivité"(17); it will undoubtedly facilitate and enrich research in Aurevillian scholarship and numerous other areas of 19thcentury French studies.
